a something attached to as a youth 

A Baby Raccoon –  

A pet for a very short time. It died and I had to bury it. My brother killed the mother that was killing our neighbor’s chickens. My mother forced oatmeal down its throat and it was responding. It got out of the box I had it in and drowned in our basement sump pump. A very difficult time in my life.
